Think of a country…

I was waiting in line for lunch last week when I got the idea for a new magic effect. If you’re reading this blog, don’t tell other people about this effect. I present here to gather feedback on whether or not this would be a good idea.

This is the first unique effect I have ever invented. I am sure that no one else is doing it (note: I’m not actually sure about this). But here is the effect:

You and I are out to lunch, or perhaps dinner, at a Chinese restaurant. It is near the end of the meal and we start to talking about countries of the world and the ones we have traveled to, and the ones we would like to travel to. I then say to you "I want you to think about traveling. Think about new cultures, new experiences, new adventures. If you were to travel to a country, think about what it would be. Think about the name of that country over again in your mind."

The check comes and being that this is a Chinese restaurant, it comes with fortune cookies. You pick up your fortune cookie and I pick up mine. You crack open your fortune cookie, pull out the fortune, and on it reads the name of the country that you are thinking of.
